1981 Map of Turpela Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

St Louis River and the Partridge River define the hydrography of this Northwoods landscape, where water and forestry dominate the local geography. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the map lie within the Superior National Forest, characterized by numerous glacial lakes and wetlands. Distinctive family-named water bodies such as Hautala Lake, Kumpula Lake, and Turpela Lake suggest the heritage of the area's early settlers and landowners. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit indicates a local economy supported by mineral extraction, while the Hoyt Lakes Corporate Boundary encroaches into the northern territory. Recreational utility is noted through features like the Norway Point Picnic Area and a Heliport, reflecting the intersection of public land management and industrial activity in the Iron Range region.
